I really dig the look and execution on the face of the Support area of the wordpress.org sites, with forums delineated on one side and support threads from all the different forums displayed on the other. It is in fitting with the design I am trying to achieve for my current project and I haven’t seen it elsewhere.
Anyone have a direction to look in for a setup similar?
I’m new to this wordpress website building stuff, so please excuse all current and hopefully not much future ignorance.
Cheers,
Andrew
It looks like you have not imported the phpBB database into the same MySQL instance WordPress is using.
You cannot use a “remote” database to import from.
Robin made the plugin awhile ago. bbPress devs made a fix awhile ago, but slated it into 2.6 instead of a 2.5 point release.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2607
Install the other wpfix 2 plugin. It should have the same code snippet you are trying to use, without having to place any code anywhere.
I recommend users who are beginners to not edit bbPress core files. Or any other plugin/theme/wordpress core files unless you know exactly what you are doing code wise.
Okay, yeah this site does have an interesting layout.

From what I can see real quick.
Your not going to edit the loop-single-reply.php file like @netweb suggested, because after clicking the reply title link you are redirected to a normal layout single reply. So to get this layout you are going to edit content-single-topic.php, remove the pagination, and place a custom template instead of loop-replies..php so that you won’t mess with replies in a forum profile.
<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Replace the above code with this for example.
<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'classic-threads' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
The code that will be in loop-classic-threads.phpwill be a copy of loop-replies.php and a very minimal loop-single-reply.php. Wherever say <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?> is called in the new loop-classic-threads.php file, I would just copy the whole loop-single-reply.php template where that get template function was and keep only the code you need.
The code that is going to be in the area you put the loop-single-reply.php code is only going to have the username, date, maybe the reply positions, and reply title. The reply title is going to mostly come from a customized version of the bbPress reply title plugin. But you are going to output the reply title in the template as a link. A link (I think bbp_reply_url() is the right function ) to the single reply template, which is only 1 reply isolated, which bbPress can do.
Does this help enough??
I’m gonna see if I can recreate most of this layout later

On a separate issue, I do notice the the topic counts don’t reset when topics are deleted.
Try recounting the topics by running the nessessary repair jobs in Tools > Forums.

If you want contact me personally and I will check on this and see if I can come up with anything.

Good afternoon,
This is more WordPress related I think, because bbPress is using the WordPress environment for authentication. Just check that on your /wp-admin page, under ‘Settings -> General -> Membership’ you have the ‘Anyone can register’ correctly checked.

Hello,
i just instal bbpress but people can not registrer to the forum. when they do that, they see
a wordpress page with: registrer is not allowed.
you can see what i mean on: http://thelittleone.nl/forum/registreren-forum/
can someone help me?
I have setup WordPress on a computer (Raspberry Pi3 running Ubuntu MATE 16.04) and it is working.
I installed bbPress and am trying to import my phpBB Forum http://binnie.id.au/BulletinBoard/index.php
It is unclear exactly what I need to enter in the “Import Forums” dialog.
I have tried many different options. I am assuming that this is asking for MySQL details.
My CPanel reports
Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server type: MySQL
Server version: 5.5.48-cll – MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Protocol version: 10
User: iabi1038@localhost
Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

I have tried
Database Server binnie.id.au
Database Name iabi1038_phpb1
Database User iabi1038_phpb1
Table Prefix phpbb_
This chugs along, with no obvious errors, except it seems to find nothing.

See the menus used here on both bbPress.org/forums and BuddyPress.org/support:
These are both menus, both use said “parent” menu items to arrange the items, both these menus are open source and pretty good examples and slightly different of how you can add bbPress and BuddyPress functionality to menus

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-org/toolbar.php
Take a look around and look out for “parent” and see what you find…
i have the same problem as you
i have 1 forum and 1 topic associated to it but i can’t see the topic using WordPress 4.6.1
I’ve been silently lurking about here for a few months, this is my first official post.
I always try to do my best flying solo per se when it comes to troubleshooting.
Having said that, I have a quick question pertaining to the Codex ‘examples you can use’ in the functionality and layout section; if one of you might nudge me a bit then I would be most appreciative… I’m but a padawan with regard to coding/ comprehending the language, but I’m slowly learning little by little.
For ease of reference, the example I am referring to is for the following (direct copy/paste of statement): “This solution lets you add an “edit profile” to your wordpress menu – this only appears as a menu item if the user is logged in.”
To take this a step further, is it possible to get this working but not yielding it as being a main parent menu item?, perhaps it is achievable by changing some of the code in the example published in the codex?… or adding additional code?
That is, if at present there is an existing menu of Home, About, Accounts, Contact us, etc. etc…. who might be able to provide me with clues on how one could read/interpret/tweak the code provided on that codex page such that the ‘edit profile’ looks and performs exactly as intended, but rather than showing up on the main nav menu to instead have it be revealed, let’s say, under the ‘Accounts’ item, i.e., as a child to Accounts…
Yes this reveals what little I know in terms of understanding how to read code, and/but/so I’d appreciate any helpful suggestions on whether the above scenario is possible.
Thanks for reading 🙂
Cheers,
Bbpress uses the wordpress login, so they will have single signon.
I want to create a member section in wordpress. Only the members will have access to a directory & a forum. Now I can give these 2 links visible when someone registers creates a account .. thats ok
But what my question is can the same username/password used to login to the forum, as if the user needs to again register for the forum it would be 2 times he needs to register. In short using a single login for forum and member area
Its a common issue related to WordPress comments theme styling having issues with bbPress replies since they have a common class attribute .reply.
Since your theme is a free WP theme, I was able to test it out real quick to see the issues.
Use all this custom CSS, add it into a child themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.
Know that if it does not work, try adding !important at the end, for example like this.
Also know that some of the CSS is for your replies links color, so change that if you end up changing your links color so that it would match.
.example {
position: relative !important;
right: auto !important;
}
Here is all the custom CSS you would need to use to fix your theme related issue.
#bbpress-forums .reply a {
position: relative;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
display: initial;
padding: 0;
border: none;
font-size: inherit;
text-transform: none;
-webkit-transition: none;
transition: none;
}
#bbpress-forums .reply a {
border-color: inherit;
color: #BF4D28;
}
#bbpress-forums .reply a:hover {
color: #E6AC27;
background-color: inherit;
}
Hi All – I maintain a very simple site for an astronomy group (sdbhas.org) on a volunteer basis, and we recently migrated to wordpress so I’m still a newbie. I recently installed bbpress and everything seemed to be working very well. However, while testing I noticed that replies to a topic are rendering the area where the username and avatar would go on the extreme right edge of the screen. The forum’s not publicly visible as of yet, but a screenshot of what’s happening is below:
Reply render failure
bbpress version: 2.5.10-6063
wordpress: 4.6.1
theme: parabola
This does appear to be theme-related since when I tested with 2016 it rendered properly. Searching the forum I couldn’t find anything similar, so would anyone have an idea as to what’s happening or a suggestion for a fix? Although I’m a software engineer, java and c++ are my areas, not php/css – so go easy 😉
Thanks in advance for the help!
–Thanks,
Chris
I’ve installed BBpress and it didn’t show in the WP menu.
After some searching I found the topic on User roles and gave myself admin and keymaster role.
Now I can see the BB press options in the WP menu, but when I try to acces them I get an error: ‘ You are not allowed to edit posts in this post type. ‘
My version of WordPress is outdated. Can this be the problem here?
Specs:
BB press 2.5.10
Wordpress: 4.4.5
Kind regards, Simon
If you aren’t using any plugins that modify the registration process or custom frontend registration forms and instead are using the default WordPress registration forms, right after you get an activation link in your email, you should be redirected to a strong autogenerated password that you can edit if you want, just make sure to edit it before you hit reset password. If a user wants to change their password later they can also do that in their bbPress edit profile section.
As for the emails going to spam, a way that can help this is by sending email through an SMTP server for your site. There are a bunch of plugins on WordPress that can help configure this.
Weird one.. I have removed old customers no longer on a course but found some are still being notified of new posts.
It is possible this links to what looks like an error on the Forum Settings Page. Example is below. Anyone got an idea?
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in /var/sites/s/secretgarden.eu.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notify/bbpress-notify.php on line 361

I’m on wordpress 4.5.4 and bbpress 2.5.10 and bbpress notify 0.2.2

Its a known bug. Here is the trac ticket for the issue.
Like it says in the ticket it’s possible to restore the topic on the frontend.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2734
Just another reply to you @mimbelli about your opinion on using plugins for most of the features.
While I’m sure that WordPress will not disappear in few years I cannot swear for sure on each plugin. What will happen when a plugin I used throughout all my site will not be upgraded because the developer went on Mars? I became very careful to choose my plugin since it happens several times in my life.
Make sure to use some quality plugins from very good developers. Most of the plugins I mentioned in your original topic were pretty good quality in my opinion.
If you did go the route of mainly using BuddyPress, GD bbPress Toolbox, bbPress Pencil Unread, then that should be good enough. BuddyPress is very actively developed, GD bbPress Toolbox is actively developed (its a paid plugin) and adding tons of features you wanted even report post functionality, and the Pencil Unread plugin is now improving its plugin to include features that are in other unread posts plugins.
Just updated to 4.6.1 recently and it seems to work fine on my dev site.
@pauldamas
If your this was a fresh bbPress installation I would try a re-installation.
We have some users in the forum mention similar issues while having also installed BuddyPress. Do you have BuddyPress installed as well.
You may also have to make sure you have the plugin activated. I have seen users get confused at how the new way WordPress installs plugins with a single button and no screen change. Some people forget to wait after the loading icon goes, then the button turns into an activate button. Some users forget that and do not activate the plugin.
Some further background… I’m running this on my local desktop with Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.0 PHP 5.5.36
and WordPress 4.6
Also have installed Buddypress but after issues with bbpress I have deactivated Buddypress which made no decernable difference at all. Also this is a pretty much sterile install, these are the only 2 plugins that have been added i.e. Buddypress & bbpress and as I noted Buddypress is not active at present.
I’m working on my third install of bbpress and still having the same problem I have already deleted 2 previous copies of WordPress and bbpress simply because I don’t seem to be able to getthem to work.
It is looking like I have made some progress though. Where as I was simply getting an empty page I am at least getting a list of forums and even a notice i.e.
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by ronc0011 4 minutes ago.

Which is of course the title of my first reply.
The only thing in any of this is my username and the 4 minutes ago part. I’m not seeing anything that looks even sort of like a forum only a couple of notices that tell me there are forums and topics but forget attempting to actually see those topics or replies.
